Leganes vs Rayo Vallecano Match Prediction

By Bharath Ramm R

The joy of the massive win over Barcelona did not last for more than a few days as Leganes suffered a late defeat against Real Betis in the midweek action. Rayo Vallecano have been trying to make up for a poor defence with goals at the other end of the pitch. This will be the first competitive game between Leganes and Rayo Vallecano since 2004 when both clubs were in the second division. Even though Leganes have a good run of form at home, the form of certain attacking players in the Rayo Vallecano team can help the visitors get something out of the game. I would pick a draw.

Leganes have not been able to keep a clean sheet in any of the La Liga games this season. Rayo Vallecano are able to better their opponents on this front as the team did manage a shutout against Huesca a few weeks back. Yet, this match sees decent attacking potential at both ends and poor defensive form. This guarantees goals at both ends.

Draw – 23/10

Both teams to score – 19/20
